| I have created the virtual directory for Reporting Service (SSRS 2008) using the reporting services configuration manager. Now I can access reports through http://localhost/reportserver or the report manager through http://localhost/reports. However, when accessing these pages, I'm asked to authenticate myself.Having searched through many forums and docs, it seems the simple answer to stop the server from requesting these details is to enable anonymous access on the virtual directory through IIS. However, the virtual directory I created using Reporting Services Configuration Manager doesn't show up in IIS.Any ideas why the virtual directory doesn't appear in IIS? or how I might go about enabling anonymous access in some other way?Thanks. |

| Reporting services 2008 no longer uses IIS for authentication or as a webserver - its all now integrated into SSRS. With this, the anonymous access went as well - you would need to do some code hacking to disable this tho. The best method is to either use ADS, or create users on the machine hosting reporting services. Then, using the administrator access login, you assign access and roles via the Reporting Services site (can't do it in Management Studio anymore).Shout if you need any more advice - its a little different to 2005, but I feel on the whole, more secure. |

| Would you mind walking me through this? I have a similar problem after an upgrade from 2005. |
